A DISH OF SALAD.

A DISH OF SALAD.
A diagram of the exact relations of
Editor PIERCE and his ''5taff contrib
utor." Gen. TYNER, would be of partic-
ular interest at this time.
-
Editor PIERCE has put his foot in it
again and given additional evidence of
the fact that he doesn't know half as
much as some people used to think he
did. He has charged, for many months
and reiterated it until it has become
stale-that the GLOBES Dakota edition
was conducted by employees of the Da-
kOta government who were drawing
salaries from the territorial treasury.
This charge has been proven false. and
now, since the publication of the cele-
DRAFTED Aberdeen letter, it develop S
that Editor PIERCE is the guilty wretch
who has been making use of the services
of employees of the territorial govern
ment. 1t appears that Gen. TYNER
has been the ''staff contributor" for
PIERCE's Supplement (onlthe quiet dur
ing the whole time that he held the
Office of adjutant general and was serv-
ing the PIERCE administration. The
people of Dakota can judge if this isn't
clear case against the Poll Parrot at
the Helm. There is also another little
list printed in this issue.

Gen. JUMPER seems to have poured a
sufficient quantity of oil on the troubled
waters to calm them. 1t was tempest
in teapot, anyhow.

Editor PIERCE might as well have
used TYNER as Scapegoat i'll the case
of those four celebrated scoops" by
the GLOBE, and made him shoulder the
responsibility. Then the HI telegram
from the home office could have
been taken off the wire at Fargo and
been saved something of journey.
~
The GLOBE enters its solemn protest
against the policy that has been pur-
sued by Editor Pierce in giving space
ill his supplement to ''staff contribu
tors" who were employed by the terri
tOrial government. Evidently the willy
old fox raised the howl about terri
tOrial employees to cover up the tracks
of his assistant, TYNER, and the other
employees who used to boom him.

Editor LEWIS will shy his castor in the
ring again at Milbank. There appears
to be no good reason why anybody
should attempt to bar him out. There
are good many people in Dakota who
have been their own architects, and
planned their own houses, and built
them of glass. 1t is better to keep
straight ahead and pull together for the
good of the territory than to dig up the
emberS.
This does settle the crafty editor of
the Supplement. He's in the mire up
to his neck, and must soon sink out of
sight. The GLOBE was not aware of
the real facts last week. PIERCE quoted
a paragraph from the GLOBE of Aug.
q, in relation to territorial employees
editing the paper, and made the charge
that the Bismarck correspondent drew
a salary from the treasury. At that
time o. III. Holt was the GLOBES cor
but he had no connection
with the territorial administration. 1t
now turns out that HOLT is Editor
PIERCE's nephew, and that he was dep
uty auditor during the latter's guber-
Material term. He was the regular cor
of the Minneapolis Tribune
during that time, and ''boomed' the
PIERCE regency with vengeance. If
there has ever been case of pure, un-
adulterated territorial employe-draW-
ing -a-salary- Out-Of-the-public treasury
by-wast-
Observation-Disclosures uncle's-ad-
here it is. Come again,
gentle GILBERT!

Col. PLUMMER does not seem to have
met the fate of OTHELLo. His occupa-
ton is not gone, by any means, since
the close of the division and prohibition
He is going to Washington
to boom Minneapolis for the national
so much "per," of
course. The good luck of the colonel
only serves to show that clover grows
in Washington in the winter
time.

Col. EDWARDS comment about Col.
JOHN d. BENTON adds nothing to his
credit as a journalist.

Again the GLOBE remarks, the route
to the Union lies by way of Aberdeen.

A message from the one-state people
to Gen. CAMPBELL, who is going to
to fight for division:
''If you gets dar afore we do
Tell 'em we'se comm, too"
-
Editor LEWIS is to be welcomed by
brass band and receive genuine ova-
ton at Milbank. People already begin
to envy him.
PIERCE holds TYNER with an iron
grip and prevents his squeaIing. TY-
NER. it is alleged, has an affidavit from
PIERCE about the Aberdeen letter
which might clear up the mystery if he
